Message: <blockquote data-quote="GuardianLurker" data-source="post: 413795" data-attributes="member: 786">I like the flavor; these are all *really* cool.BUT....PRISMATIC spells.These are all *incredibly* overpowered.Prismatic Flash allows Slow, Ethereal Jaunt, Confusion, and 4d6 damage all at 1st level. This is WAY to powerful; as written this is at least 4th. Prismatic Strobe is essentially a multi-round area of effect Prismatic Spray at 2nd level. Prismatic Shell is essentially a single-use Prismatic Sphere and is more properly 6th (or better), not 3rd. The Prismatic Missiles may actually be balanced at 6th.The Prismatic Metamagic feats are also overpowered.What is the cost of regenerating the spell layers? Must I have the corresponding spell prepared when I do this? Am I bound to regenerate the layers in order? I'd suggest at least a +1 level adjustment, maybe even a +2.This removes one of the primary limitations of the Prismatic Spells. I'd say this is worth at least +1 levels.Since I'm choosing the colors, instead of randomly, Prismatic Irregularity is probably worth a +2 adjustment.Prismatic Oscillation and Prism Mirror are just about right.I like Phantasmal Stun, Bladestream, Frozen Spear, and Waterblast. All are cool and seem well-balanced, though the Jet version of the Waterblast should probably have its damage reduced.I like it. I've tweaked it a little. The damage is probably still a little weak for 7th level, but since all the effects are concurrent, it's probably about right.I changed to an "auto-counter" effect because that seemed to be more in line with what you intended. It also dramatically decreased the complexity, usually a good thing. Finally, it also avoided the implied "area insta-kill, no save" effect for summoned creatures, which seemed a little harsh.Again, all cool. Very flavorful. But a little out-of-whack.</blockquote>
